Abstract

The contemporary battlefield is a complex environment that places great demands on an exact performance of tasks and an efficient use of resources. Corps of Engineers performs a wide scope of technical tasks and provides a significant range of information in contemporary operations. Capabilities of modelling and simulation in the military environment can be very useful tools for planning and carrying out of operational and tactical tasks. Therefore, modelling and simulation and automated data processing are for Military Engineering present themes. This paper discusses modelling and simulation possibilities in the field of Military Engineering. The introductory part describes engineer roles and tasks according to NATO demands. The following part defines requirements for information (geographical and geological data, map model, reconnaissance of terrain) needed to model engineering tasks. The closing section presents an illustrative example and the possible approach to the issue. Modelling and simulation suggestions and the illustrative example present real possibilities of implementation in the military environment.
